Résumé

Résumé : The book "Kepler" by Walter W. Bryant, published in 1920, provides a comprehensive exploration of the life and scientific achievements of Johannes Kepler, a pivotal figure in the field of astronomy. The text is structured into several chapters, each focusing on different aspects of Kepler's life and work. The initial chapters set the stage by discussing the state of astronomy before Kepler's time, highlighting the challenges and limitations faced by astronomers of the era. This context serves as preparation for understanding the significance of Kepler's contributions. The narrative then delves into Kepler's early life, detailing his upbringing and the formative experiences that shaped his intellectual pursuits. The book provides insights into Kepler's education and the influences that guided his path towards becoming a renowned astronomer. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to Kepler's collaboration with Tycho Brahe, a prominent astronomer of the time. This partnership was instrumental in Kepler's development of his famous laws of planetary motion, which revolutionized the understanding of celestial mechanics. Kepler's laws, which describe the elliptical orbits of planets and their varying speeds, are discussed in detail, emphasizing their impact on the scientific community and their enduring legacy in the field of astronomy. The book also covers the later years of Kepler's life, reflecting on his continued contributions to science and the challenges he faced towards the end of his career. In addition to the main chapters, the book includes appendices that provide a list of important dates and a bibliography for further reading. A glossary is also included to aid readers in understanding the technical terms used throughout the text. Overall, Bryant's work offers a thorough and engaging account of Kepler's life, highlighting his role as a pioneer in the advancement of astronomical knowledge.
Biographie : American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932)-aka Yogi Ramacharaka-was born in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India, Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.
